Oh wow you guys were not exaggerating about Kabru. Flashing back to something Laios said thirty seconds before but with the happy white fuzz filter, immediately going "either I was wrong and they didnt rob us or they dont remember, either way its fine ❤️" to his party, blushing and going "this is so much worse than I imagined" while Shuro is actively trying to kill Laios, not even flinching over the "why were you eating a brick" thing? this little dude is a freak

sometimes I see people posting nice (???) dreams they’ve had about the guys here and then I’m just over here like…

I’ve had one dream about them and it’s like I’m at a concert but for some reason my unconscious self cannot think of a single one of their songs so they are a fucking jazz band

and at one point Jan steals the mic and starts asking if anyone has seen his bed cause apparently he lost it at the venue

and of course as they are a jazz band Bojan repeatedly says “do ya like jazz”

also if I remember right kris’ ass is like properly slapped by all of them at some point

like what the fuck is this

[heister-shmeister]

hes got toxic masculinity and internalized homophobia out the ass dont get me staaaaaarted

I have a lot of grievances over how Vitani's Lion Guard was executed in the finale, but I think the one thing that would've saved it [or made it less bs] is to have them all be different animals. Same characters, personalities, voice actresses (and maybe eye-color?), and you can even keep the all-female guard, just different species of animals that would've made the ending come full circle rather than having its narrative be circular.

Like, Vitani's the one-lion on the Guard who's the leader/fiercest.

Shabaha would be a caracal cat since those motherfuckers can jump high and compete with other, bigger predators for food (we were robbed oa caraca, in TLG anyways so this would've been perfect.

Tazama would be a Secratarybird since they can run fast but also have sharp vision as birds of prey.

Imara would be a South African Rock Python, her strength being her coils and jaw vice - In fact, they could've easily saved time and effort by just co-opting the rock python from Season 1, pulling the ultimate Chekov's Gun by turning a background character into a major game player in the finale (also serving as a heroic parallel to Ushari and giving us a non-villainous snake, not enough of which are shown in media)

Kasi as an African Wild Dog (known for their stamina unlike the cheetah, and again, don't get enough appearances in animated animal-based media sans Wild Kratts)

The more I know

The more I study history, the more I just...Cringe at how much the thought of "teenagers care about peer perseption because they are spoiled and shallow" rings false.

Because, historically, people cared about their honor to an obsessive degree. Until the day that thanks to a scammer, I ended up unable to eat enough ! That was the only period I was borderline obsessed with dignity, and cared about how I'm perceived. It was emotionally easier for me to skip meals than to beg, so I skipped meals.

Food for thought.

"Neighbors Are Hunted," Border Cities Star. June 5, 1933. Page 1 & 9. ---- Accused of Attacking London Woman And Taking $1,500 --- Condition Serious --- Mrs. Tichonchuk Tells Story of Assault And Robbery --- By Staff Reporter LONDON, Ont., June 5 - Mrs. Alex Tichonchuk, 31, of 6 Webb street, lies in Victoria Hospital in a temporarily serious condition, while detectives were carrying on an intensive hunt this afternoon for two neighbors who are alleged to have attacked her in her home this morning, and robbed the Polish woman of $1,500 in cash.

SUSPECTS SOUGHT THE suspects the police are seeking are John Neyare, 35, boarder at 5 Webb street, across the road from the victim's home, and Joseph Kozuboski, about 33 years of age, and believed to be a resident of Inkerman street.

The robbery occurred about 10 o'clock this morning, when Mrs. Tichonchuk was alone in the house. Her husband was at work in a downtown factory, and their only child Alex, Jr., 7 years old, was attending Aberdeen school.

According to the story told police, the two suspects paid a friendly call to the Tichonchuk residence. They had been in the house a few minutes when the housewife was called to the door to get a registered postal letter. When Mrs. Tichonchuk returned to the living room she found one of the men in a bedroom. Asking what he wanted, she received a non-committal reply. The other man was in the living room. Mrs. Tichonchuk then walked into the bedroom and the visitor threw a bag over her head, and calling his companion to help him, the woman was carried upstairs to a small attic and threatened with death unless she revealed the hiding place of her husband's money. She refused to answer, and they beat her with their fists. While in the attic the men ripped boards from the floor in an effort to locate the money. Mrs. Tichonchuk was then pushed down the stairs and was thrown down the cellar stairs to the cement floor, it was charged. In the meantime, the woman's hands had been tied behind her back.

LEFT IN CELLAR Leaving the victim in the cellar, the raiders ransacked the house, pull- ing out drawers and spreading the contents on the floor, turning beds over and tearing open mattresses. The money was finally found hidden in a bedroom on the ground floor.

John Turrick, a neighbor, told detectives this afternoon he saw Neyara run out of the house and down a lane. He didn't see the other suspect leave the house.

Mrs. Tichonchuk's screams were heard by Peter Sawa, another neighbor, but he didn't go in the house as he thought the noise was a family disturbance, he related to The Star. In the meantime the victim had dragged herself to the verandah with her hands still tied and Sawa came to her rescue.

Charles Howard, 28, 565 Ottaway avenue, also heard the woman's call for help, and he helped Sawa in rendering first aid. Mrs. Tichnochuk was bleeding from mouth and head wounds, and also on the arms where the ropes had cut into the flesh.

RUSHED TO HOSPITAL The victim was rushed to VictoriaHospital where she was attended by Dr. Murray Simpson.

Detective Earl Knight was in police headquarters when the robbery was reported, and in company with Constables Clipperton and Leach, hurried to the scene in a scout car. The alarm was spread over the city, and provincial traffic police were instructed to watch all roads leading out of London.

The suspects were last seen at the intersection to Hill and William street about two blocks from the house. They called at the Matz grocery store, and asked Miss Jennie Matz, 16, to call a taxi.

Murray Haines, 22. of 605 Emery street, answered the call from the Lasalle Taxi Company, and he drove the two men out of the city. Early this afternoon Haines had not returned to London and police were endeavoring to trace the taxi. Haines was driving a Marquette sedan, sedan, carrying the license number V-1211.

The two suspects, who are Russians, came to Canada about three years ago and have lived in London about that time. They were employed with section gangs on various railroads, but had not been working in recent months.

Mr. Tichonchuk, who was also born in Russia, has lived in London six years. His wife came to this country in 1931.

"I drew the $1,500 from the bank on Saturday to pay hospital and other bills, and I also intended to make a down payment on a small farm," the husband told The Star. The money represented his savings in Canada.

DESCRIPTIONS The descriptions of the two alleged robbers, as supplied to police, are as follows: Neyare, about six feet tall, dark complexion, slim and wearing a blue suit, with a white shirt and no tie, and a grey felt hat; Kozuboski, short and stockily built, red freckled face and wearing a sand colored suit coat, grey trousers and a light brown felt hat.

Miss Matz informed The Star this afternoon that Neyare was very excited when he entered the store, and swore profusely while waiting for the taxi. Kozuboski, she said, bought a package of cigarets and gave her five cents for the phone call.

Another family resides with the Tichonchuks, Mr. and Mrs. J. Andrew, and two small children, Mary and Natalie. They were away at the time of the robbery.

Today's Blades in the Dark got so bad our GM had to remind us that we can abandon the heist. First mission of the campaign.

pls i agree with the previous anon. like i need to see how your mind works. LIKE THE AMOUNT OF LORE YOU PUT INTO THIS STORY? no wonder you was struggling to write this chapter. no wonder you had to split it. YOURE PUTTING EVERYTHING INTO IT. i adore you.

i just love how you do megumi justice. like from what we hear from others (oh my god he was such a menace. jumping out of vehicles? biting people? willing to summon his ace just to spite everyone? trying to electrocute his uncle?) he has so much fire in him. he’s such a little shit. i love him. i’m so tired of everyone portraying him as some emotionless bland character. the dudebros don’t know him the way i do 🙁.

i’m honestly just itching to see yuuta spill the beans on his attachment to megumi like…would gojo actually be willing to kick that kid ass. IF ANYTHING gojo should consider this a win. the son he birthed from his gojoussy (i was there. i was the one cutting the cord ofc shh) has a loyal protector.

but in all honesty i have so many theories. like about mai, she might pop out to get the books & shit for her nephew? who knowsss.

the answer to how my mind works is “not well.” imagine a waiting room where the staff are only in attendance for 30 minutes per day (it’s never the same 30 minutes) and there is a hamster inexplicably lose. there are fish tanks but they are empty ones. you do not know what the business is or why you are waiting. dont stop me now by queen is playing on endless loop

Have you ever thought about how Linebeck describes Jolene as "crazier than a rabid squid"- only to then be possessed by a literal rabid squid later in the game?

Cause I sure have- especially after seeing a lot of your BellumxLinebeck stuff

mmmmghmm im gonna be honest i haven't thought about it much at all

linking it to my bellum x linebeck thoughts, im not too sure what to make of it in context with my other linebeck notes and w/e

there's also my idea that linebeck has a special interested in shellfish and by extension squids, and the idea of him having a weird thing for bellum, and just... enjoying sealife, and it's kinda of...

he compares her to a rabid squid to link in order to i think... offer a shorthand explanation of what she's like, and i think it (with some other stuff) is kinda just another little peek into how he might feel abt her?

i mean he also compares link to a dog in that one letter? i'm not sure where im going with that one. i dont think linebeck particularly likes dogs

i'm not sure abt the link between that and him getting possessed, jolene is kind of just... there a lot of the time and doesn't really do anything except 1) show that linebeck has enemies and 2) show that people know about link's quest by the end, linebeck generally references sea creatures a few times in ph

relating to bellum x linebeck, i dont see him comparing jolene to a squid an indicator of anything in relation to that, with linebeck having a thing for bellum its more of like. there's a lot of complicated ideas i have with what goes on between them during bellumbeck and bellum being a squid thing is more linebeck having a bit of a monsterfucker streak and having a bit of a thing for like. being tied up. as for literal squids he kinda just likes them as food and to dissect and learn about

like i think 'rabid squid' is more like linebeck just tossing out some derogatory shorthand to explain how he thinks of jolene as some fucking. violent annoyance he has to deal with that he doesn't fully understand

tbh i see the comparison but imo it comes down to a difference in characters and interactions and histories, there is the rabid squid thing (and i think in the manga too theres a vague parallel drawn ig) but im not. sure. what there is there just beyond. linebeck talks about sea creatures and wants to get the fuck away from jolene

i'm not entirely certain what you've been thinking about with that comparison, but i haven't been thinking much about it and it's kinda. eh ig???? its something

Do you know if you’ll be able to make one of those free pantries around the city? Or like, bring people together to make a volunteer pantry?

I'll be honest, I have no idea.

I've lived in my city my whole life, but I'm also shy as hell. Working myself up to going door to door around my cul de sac and offering people tomatoes was an entire ordeal--and I had to have my dad with me to have even a modicum of confidence. (And he needed to hold two of the 3 bowls but still).

I also just. Don't know what all goes into setting up a little free pantry. I've seen some that are little wooden boxes like little free libraries are, and I've seen some that are a literal refrigerator. Which, I guess the refrigerated one would be able to hold more food, but also. Energy costs? Then there's the additional factor of 'where is this thing going to be hosted?' Because I know for damn sure that my parents aren't going to want it near the house, and the house at the end of the street literally has 'no tresspassing no solicitors we will call the cops or maybe grab a gun' signs in their yard. I could maybe see if a local library would be willing to host one--though that would, again, require I get the courage to. Go to a library. (I know, I'm just killing it in the solarpunk and community outreach aspects of life. Can't even muster the willpower to sit in a library.)

If I were in the more artsy part of the city (where the little free library is already set up), or maybe by the beach (where there is a food pantry that I don't think is tied to a church, but its a 40+ minute drive there), then a volunteer effort could maybe have some ground. But the part of the city I'm in... I dunno, I just don't get that vibe.

Maybe someday I'll muster the courage to like. Make some kind of ripple effect. but right now I am the equivalent of a scared little kid who still has to hold daddy's hand to ring a doorbell and reverse trick or treat the next door neighbors who've been there almost as long as I've been alive.
